This week on The Morning After, solo host Sari Kamin is chatting with Heather Marold Thomason and Kathryn Tomajan of Eat Retreat, and takes them through some amazing Food News, including a Texas brisket bandit, Chinese medicine endorsing beer hops as good for the brain, and cops arresting pizza delivery guys but proceeding to deliver the goods! After the break, Heather and Kathryn explain that Eat Retreat is a creative retreat for leaders in the food community (including alum Sari Kamin!) that brings together people from across the country and across food disciplines for an immersive, hands-on weekend of cooking, eating and collaborating. They go on to say that objective of this annual event is to inspire, rejuvenate and ultimately celebrate a shared joy of food. It’s basically summer camp meets the farmers market!

Talking about this trend in coffee as well as grass fed butter, the group dissects the taste, diet, and everything else Bulletproof. Is this just another passing fad or will Bulletproof go on to influence the way we eat and drink? Tune in for some great insight! This program was brought to you by Whole Foods Market.
